Hi Guys,

you know I love a good topic of conversation so do you think these wheels have had there day??? I have just bought myself a set of Comps because of that very reason! The 7 spokes look retro but would they suit my saff for shows? I will use the comps for track and everything else, just wondering if I should sell the 7 spokes??? Open to thoughts and would love to see your pic's!!

 

I think they are iconic! Especially the diamond cuts on a series 1. A good clean set look as good today than any other alloy does

 

Maybe these are more suited to a series 1 than a saff then??

 

I wouldn't say that as such. Soft lines look shit hot on saphs IMO. But finding a wheel that looks good nowadays is down to comps etc I reckon. I don't think they look out of place today as they ever have.

 

I do love the 7 spokes but will soon be looking at getting a set of comp mo's

 

Point made!

 

Only bad thing is the 7 spokes don't give you much scope for big brakes, comps ftw btw.

 

how much if you sell them bud? wouldnt mind a set for my mk4

 

The wheels in the 1st pic look like soft lines to me, I had a set of these on my car (saff) for about an hour before taking them off and deciding to get rid. Diamond cuts on the other hand look very nice IMO.

 

Thanks mate, it makes me wanna keep em now lol

 

Thanks for the offer mate but you always need a spare set IMO On second thoughts let me get back to you as they might not fit round my discs lol

 

I'm going to be running 330mm fronts and 300mm rears, hence why I bought the Comps, will the 7 spokes not fit now then? as I haven't had a chance to try them, that would be a ball ache as I was hoping to keep them as spares

 

Lovely motor and I agree the diamond cuts look great Keep the pics coming guys!!

 

I like them mate, best wheel to suit a saff, i just sold a set of a donor car i am using they made a bit of intrest and fetch good money so it just shows that people still want them.

 

You have a point there as already had 2 offers on them lol, any more pic's?

 

I'm pretty sure that your car used to belong to a young lad near me.

I do like the RS7's and was considering them for my car years ago but it's a bit more difficult to get some decent brakes behind them.

I've got Comp MO's at the moment but really fancy a change but I can't find a wheel that toots my bugle really.

 

Am in same boat Gaz,thought i would be happy with my comps and big brakes,now i am thinking of flogging the lot so i can be back onto seven spokes again

 

Dont sell them they look really good on a saff

 

You can fit 330mm brakes behind RS7's on a 2wd car but not a 4x4.

Comps are shite, i hate mine

 

Diamond cuts ftw... Mine are in the getting refurbished and recut with new centre caps... I cant wait to get them back...

 

Brilliant wheels to have on the car.
Had my set for over 8 years, until changed to comps

 

Far from an original look, but still a nice wheel.

 

Softlines are still a popular wheel but Diamond cut are in a different league on a Saff

 

Really Paul? Wouldn't have thought you'd get 4pots behind tbh.

PS, Mo,s are on every other Saff ( awaits to be shot down)

 

No chance mate. I bought a set for mine originally but never fitted as i couldn't fit decent brakes behind them so ended up with comp mo's.

 

bang.... lol

 

Id love a set of softies!

I think they suit the 80's-00's cars quite well but dont really do it for me on more modern cars.

Cant really justify the expense when the car is in peices

 

Just my opinion but I can't stand RS 7 spokes they just look too show and shine

 

Well I have em up for sale guys in the wheel section as I need to run big brakes and need these gone as they don't fit. anyone interested let me know, they will go for Ł500 or a part ex for a second set that fits my brakes

 

no chance of fitting them behind them brakes mate - i had to sell my polished 7 spokes for that very reason car looked awesome on them too

 

i put comps on mine but every tom, dick and harry has them so sold them and bought some hocks - much better looking than comps imo

 

Got any pics???
